Hotel Traiano is a 4-star property in the Monti district, facing the Roman Forum and a short walk from the Capitoline Hill and the Colosseum. All rooms are air-conditioned and come with free WiFi, satellite TV and a minibar, with views over the city or the inner courtyard depending on the room type chosen.
Breakfast, served in a room decorated with paintings and hanging chandeliers, offers Italian coffee and cappuccino, croissants, yogurt, eggs, sausages and other continental options, including gluten-free and buffet versions. The property is designed for those exploring Rome on foot: Termini Station and the Trevi Fountain are about 10 minutes away, while Cavour metro station is just 600 metres away.
The staff, available 24 hours a day, offer advice on restaurants and excursions and a luggage storage service useful for guests arriving or departing outside check-in hours. Pets are allowed with a possible surcharge, but there is no on-site parking, although discounts are available at a nearby parking area. A good choice for those seeking the historic centre without giving up comfort and attentive service.
The rooms at Hotel Traiano are organised around three different guest needs, from the Single Room designed for solo travellers to the Triple Room suited to small groups or families with a child. All share the same basic amenities: air conditioning, free WiFi, satellite TV, minibar, private bathroom and soundproofing, features that ensure a comfortable stay even in the busy heart of Rome. Room sizes increase gradually from 12 to 19 square metres, following guest capacity.
The view changes from room to room, alternating city glimpses with more intimate views over the inner courtyard, while only the Double Room offers a bathtub instead of a shower. Bed configuration is flexible across two room types, with the option of a double bed or separate single beds, suiting both couples and those who prefer to sleep separately.
The most compact of the three room types, designed for solo travellers: 12 square metres with city or inner courtyard views, air conditioning, minibar and private bathroom, ideal for an essential stay in central Rome.
Larger than the Single Room, this 15-square-metre room is the only one of the three offering a bathtub instead of a shower. The bed configuration is flexible, with a double bed or two single beds available, plus a choice of city or courtyard view.
The most spacious room in the range at 19 square metres, designed for small groups or families with a child thanks to a maximum occupancy of three people. It offers two alternative bed configurations, plus a choice of city or courtyard view, minibar and air conditioning.
